       What's a commonly loved food in your culture that people from other backgrounds Just Don't Get?I was shocked to discover many Europeans think root beer (perfect beverage, no notes) tastes like toothpaste.

       @aphyr Growing up my family hosted some French kids for a kind of foreign exchange thing, and a favorite memory from that time was their absolute horror and disgust over the taste of root beer. They insisted it tastes like medicine, not toothpaste, but they universally hated it.

       @ericflo @aphyr can confirm, root beer absolutely tastes like medicine (specifically iodine) to the European pallet
